Hello everyone.

The Mixed Reality Forums here are no longer being used or maintained.

There are a few other places we would like to direct you to for support, both from Microsoft and from the community.

The first way we want to connect with you is our mixed reality developer program, which you can sign up for at https://aka.ms/IWantMR.

For technical questions, please use Stack Overflow, and tag your questions using either hololens or windows-mixed-reality.

If you want to join in discussions, please do so in the HoloDevelopers Slack, which you can join by going to https://aka.ms/holodevelopers, or in our Microsoft Tech Communities forums at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/mixed-reality/ct-p/MicrosoftMixedReality.

And always feel free to hit us up on Twitter @MxdRealityDev.

Attach Hologram to Physical Object

Does anybody have any experience with attaching a hologram to a physical object? If so, could you please share the best way to go about doing this. Any example code would be appreciated.

  • @mstew1110 are you talking about a static or moving object?

    For static objects you can look into the Academy sessions like the Placement chapter of Holograms 230

    For moving objects, that will be substantially more complicated as it will likely involved computer vision and object identification and tracking.

  • I am referring to the hololens recognizing a real life object and automatically placing a hologram a certain distance from that object. The object should be able to be moved in different locations and be recognized by the hololens independent from that location. Is it possible if the object had bluetooth/wifi capability.

  • @mstew1110 the object having Bluetooth/wifi could potentially help, but you will still need something like computer vision to identify the object and its relative location.

    I believe the B15 robot demo used LEDs and computer vision for location tracking as mentioned in this thread.

    In order to overlay a virtual object onto the real object, we have to know the shape, size, position, and pose of the real object. If MS HoloLens provides developers with the access to raw depth data stream as Kinect, then MS HoloLens would be a perfect device.

  • They are doing here. Looks like the LEDs are used for registration.

  • From what I've read, they are using external hardware on the robot, similar to the mother board of the hololens to achieve this which is not what were looking for.
